Introduction
Internet of Things (IoT) comprises things that have unique
identities and are connected to the internet.
Existing devices, such as networked computers or 4G enabled
mobile phones already have some form of unique identities and
are also connected to the internet,
The focus on IoT in the configuration, control and networking
via the internet of devices or things, that are traditionally not
associated with the Internet.
These include devices such as thermostats, utility meters, a blue
tooth connected headset, irrigation pumps and sensor or control
circuits for an electric car’s engine.
Experts forecast that by the year 2020 there will be a total of 50
billion devices/ things connected to the internet.
The scope of IoT is not limited to just connected things
(Devices, appliance, machines) to the Internet.
Applications on IoT networks extract and create information
from lower level data by filtering, processing, categorizing,
condensing and contextualizing the data.
The information obtained is then organized and structured to
infer knowledge about the system and or its user, its
environment and its operations and progress towards its
objectives, allowing a smarter performance.
Definition and characteristics of IoT:
Definition:
A dynamic global network infrastructure with self
configuring based on standard and interoperable
communication protocols where physical and virtual
“things” have identified, physical attributes, and virtual
personalities and use intelligent interfaces, often
communicate data associated with users and their
environment
Characteristics
Dynamic and self-Adapting:
IoT devices and systems may have the capability to
dynamically adapt with the changing contexts and take
actions based on their operating condition. Ex: Surveillance
cameras can adapt their modes based on whether it is day or
night.
Self – Configuring:
IoT devices may have self-Configuration capability allowing
a large number of devices to work together to provide certain
functionality .
Interoperable communication protocols: IoT Devices may
support a number of interoperable communication protocols and
can communicate with other devices and also with the
infrastructure.
Unique Identity: Each IoT devices has a unique identity and a
unique identifier (IP address, URI). IoT systems may have
intelligent interfaces which adapt based on the context, allow
communication with users and the environment contexts.
Integrated into information network:
IoT devices are usually integrated into the information network
that allows them to communicate and exchange data with other
devices and systems.
Physical Design of IoT
Things of IoT: The “Things” in IoT usually refers to IoT devices which
have unique identities and can perform remote sensing, Actuating and
monitoring capabilities.
IoT devices can
▪Exchange data with other connected devices and applications (directly or
indirectly), or
▪Collect data from other devices and process the data locally or
▪Send the data to Centralized servers or cloud based applications back
ends for processing the data or
▪Perform some task locally and other task within the IoT infrastructure,
based on temporal and space constraints (ie : Memory, processing
calibrators, communication latencies and speed and deadlines).
Generic block diagram of an IoT Device
An IoT device may consist of several interfaces connections to other
devices, both wired and wireless.
These include
❖IoT interfaces for sensors
❖Interfaces for internet connectivity
❖Memory and storage interfaces
❖Audio video interfaces.
An IoT Device can collect various types of data from the onboard or
attached sensors, such as temperature e , humidity, light intensity.
IoT devices can also be varied types, for instance, wearable sensors, smart
watches, LED light automobiles and industrial machines.
Almost all the generated data in some form or the other when processed by
Data Analytics systems leads to Useful information to guide further actions
locally or remotely.
IoT Protocol
Link Layer Transport Layer
• 802.3 – Ethernet • TCP
• 802.11 – WiFi • UDP
• 802.16 – WiMax
• 802.15.4 – LR-WPAN
• 2G/3G/4G
Network/Internet Layer Application Layer
• IPv4 • HTTP
• IPv6 • CoAP
• 6LoWPAN • WebSocket
• MQTT
• XMPP
• DDS
• AMQP
IoT Protocol
Link Layer:
Link Layer protocols determine how the data is physically
sent over the networks physical layer or medium (example
copper wire, electrical cable, or radio wave).
The Scope of the Link Layer is the Last Local Network
connections to which host is attached. Host on the same link
exchange data packets over the link layer using the link layer
protocol.
Link layer determines how the packets are coded and
signaled by the hardware device over the medium to which
the host is attached.
802.3 Ethernet: 802.3 is a collections of wired Ethernet standards for
the link layer. For example 802.3 10BASE5 Ethernet uses coaxial cable
as a shared medium, 802.3.i is standard for 10 BASET Ethernet over
copper twisted pair connection, Standards provide data rates from 10
Mb/s to 40 gigabits per second and the higher.
The shared medium in Ethernet can be a coaxial cable, twisted pair wire
or and Optical fiber. Shared medium carries the communication for all
the devices on the network.
802.11- WI-FI: IEEE 802.11 is a collections of wireless Local area
network (WLAN) communication standards, including extensive
descriptions of the link layer.
For example 802.11a operate in the 5 GHz band, 802.11b and 802.11g
operate in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11ac operates in the 5G hertz band.
802.16 wiMAX: IEEE 802.16 is a collection of wireless
broadband and Standards, including extensive descriptions for the
link layer also called WiMAX wimax standard provides a data
rates from 1.5 Mb/s to 1Gb/s the recent update provides data rates
of hundred megabits per second for mobile station.
802.15.4 LR-WPAN: IEEE 802.1 5.4 is a collections of standard
for low rate wireless personal area network (LR-WPAN).These
standard form the basis of specifications for high level
communication Zigbee. LR-WPAN standards provide data rates
from 40 k b/ s. These standards provide low cost and low speed
Communications for power constrained devices.
2G / 3G / 4G mobile communications: These are the different
generations of mobile communication standards including second
generation (2G including GSM and CDMA). 3rd Generation (3G
including UMTS and CDMA2000) and 4th generation 4G including
LTE.
